i appreciate the senator naming his source, harry reid, unlike harry reid spreading rumors about one mitt romney. we'll take that as it goes. look, i think the democratic caucus is more than happy to do nothing when it suits their means. they like to talk about the immoveable gop while also taking an unprecedented four years off from writing a budget which of course is their lawful duty. i think there is not enough print sometimes dedicated to imnovemberable democrats when they're, when they happen to be doing nothing. maybe this will help that. bill: let me put a fine point what he said. jerry, you need to understand, referring to senator moran, we're not going to do anything until after the election. bob, why would that be? >> for a couple reasons. first of all, this was during the time of the budget control act where they set up the super-committee from which all things were going to spring. you couldn't move anything having to do with finances until that committee made a decision or didn't make a decision as it turns out. that's one. and two, in when you move up to election year,
